The students were so excited to see the boxes come into the class. Opening the boxes together elicited such joy. It was great to have a follow-up conversation with them about generosity---how when someone does something kind for us, we can pay it forward with kindness toward someone else. \r\n \r\nMy students love how easy it is to store their reading books and access them when it is time to grow their reading skills when reading to themselves. The 20-drawer tower tucks neatly in the back of the classroom where all students can easily access it. \r\n\r\nThe Sterilite clip bins have helped us store and organize our math manipulatives. The side clips keep my little friends from spilling small math pieces on the floor as they independently carry them across the floor. The bins also allow students to see through them, so they can easily find what they need to improve their math skills. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for supporting education and our young learners. I am very appreciative of and humbled by your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1730572589309,"projectUrl":"project/simple-storage-that-fosters-independence/8535942/","projectTitle":"Simple Storage That Fosters Independence and Organization for First Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. K.
